Heartbreak has once again found its way to the family of the late maskandi legend Scebi "Inkos'yamagcokama" Dlamini. Heavy rains accompanied by fierce winds tore through Msinga in the KZN Midlands, partially damaging the double-storey home that was still being built in his memory.

Scebi died in August 2026 in a horrific car crash in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, before he could see his dream home completed. In an outpouring of love after his passing, fans and fellow artists contributed money to help his family finish the build — making the house a symbol of his legacy.
